Chief Justice is an educational forum/course designed to give the student an appreciation of the United States Constitution and of America’s democratic form of government. The forum contains critical thinking questions that incorporate some of today’s most relevant moral and ethical issues. By using persuasive arguments and clear logic, each student must educate a jury of their peers on the merits of each case and attempt to succeed on enough issues to climb the steps of the Supreme Court to become the Chief Justice.
